The Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Agricultural society will hold their twelfth annual fair at their grounds between South Bend and Mishawaka on Sept. 11 to 15, inclusive. Owing to the great counter-attraction —the world’s fair —the management hesitated for a time whether to hold a fair this year or not, but the majority of the directors voted in favor of holding their annual exhibition this year, as usual, and are .going to spare no pains to make it one of the most interesting ever held. The racing features of the fair will be specially strong, the premiums having been increased for this year, especially in the speed department, and the managers assure the public that they will have the fastest string of horses there this season that ever attended their meetings. Lovers of good horses will be entertained and delighted. The other departments of the fair, such as exhibits, etc., will be up to the usual high standard.

On last Thursday the new residence of Mr. McCollough, two miles north of Donaldson, was destroy'd by lire. It was about three o’clock in the morn ing and the family were all asleep until awakened by the heat and noise of the fire just in time for a narrow escape with their lives, for rushing out hurriedly, not stopping even for their clothing, they had only just reached the outside when the roof fell in. All the clothing, furniture, etc., were burned. There is a small insurance on the house. A harmless newspaper squib will sometimes be twisted all out of shape and diverted from its original meaning and made to appear wrong by some people, when the true point of the item is as plain as the nose on your face. Why people should be dis- : posed to misconstrue newspaper items • with such apparent ease and alacrity is a conumdrum that we shall not attempt to answer. Don’t be too quick to judge—or misjudge, rather—newspapers, the majority of which, ns a . t mm uuminon sense at । least, and are not going to publish anything that will work injury to that which is right and good. I The many Walkerton friends of I Rev. R. H. Saunders, formerly pastor [ ot the M. E. church of this place, will I regret to learn of the reverend gentlemen’s serious illness. The Michi gan City Dispatch says: “Rev. R. H. Saunders, pastor of the Methodist church at Rolling Prairie, was suddenly stricken down Sunday morning while delivering his sermon in the church. He was in the midst of his discourse, when he suddenly paused, staggered forward, and grasping the pulpit for support said, in a faltering voice: “I must sit down.” Apparently gaining strength he rose again | and immediately announcing the close of the services, sank back again unconscious and was carried to his home, where he revived somewhat, but his condition is yet pronounced serious. The physician pronounces his illness a case of paralysis Rev. Saunders is over sixty years old." MAN DROWNED IN THE KANKAKEE. Mr. Harbeck, of Chicago, a member of the Dearborn Hunting club, who have their club house at the Kankakee, was drowned in the river near the B. & O. bridge on Thursday morning about 10 o’clock. Harbeck went out alone in a boat to hunt, and in some manner the boat was upset and the occupant being a very heavy man sank ■ in the mire, which rendered his strug- ! gles to save himself futile. Where he was drowned the water was not up to ! his head quite, and he was in a stand- i ing position w ith his face bent over in the water and the back of his head . ■ partially exposed. The club men heard him cry for help but the dis- ■ tance from the club house to the , drowning man was too great for them > to get to the spot in time to save his - life. When they reached him he had i breathed his last. His body was J placed in the boat and taken to the f club house, where Undertaker Vincent - took care of the remains, which were 3 taken to Chicago on the milk train t Saturday morning. Mr. Vincent upon t examination found no water in the 3 man’s lungs, and he is of the opinion 1 that his death was due partially to i apoplexy, as it was found that large b quantities of blood had rushed to his head.
